Nēnē (Hawaiian) Geese
The Nēnē, or Hawaiian goose, is Hawaii's state bird and one of its most iconic wildlife species. Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, this medium-sized goose is known for its distinctive buff-coloured cheeks and black head. The Nēnē inhabits a variety of habitats, from coastal dunes to volcanic slopes. Once nearly extinct in the mid-20th century, conservation efforts have helped its population rebound to around 3,000 individuals. Despite this success, the Nēnē remains vulnerable due to habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and human activities. Ongoing conservation measures are crucial to ensuring its continued survival.
